B650 prices.....don't be disappointed

if its true then means that inflation etc is driving up the price

Not really. CPU getting pushed using power. That demands better VRM.

Also, USB 4.0 and more PCIE 5.0 drives the cost up. PCIE 5.0 isn't mainstream and the cost won't drop anytime soon.

Hoping to see if Asrock will make a mITX board with eco-mode only VRM, without those huge shrouds blocking low profile air-cooler.

Ye... same shit as always with AyyyMD i guess. So exasperated and disappointed. I HOPE they do something good with their new GPUs tho

I can foresee some type of boost on the Smart Memory function side. Been hearing about the Radeons having big caches...

Because not much people support the "second best", people always want intel, Nvidia and both keep suppressing amd by keeping it out of oem, using various strategies to keep amd at bay.

People don't need 200 iq to figure out why AMD decades later still the second best.

7950X getting 40k score on Cinebench R23
That's Threadripper and Epyc entry level.

Now just need CM to make a tec cooler for Ryzen 7000.. and walla

starting at RM919 for B650 board from Asus.

struggling on amd or intel

Read reviews. See which apps better on which CPU. Buy.

i love amd coz mobo can be reuse in future but seems AM5 is not stable. shud wait longer to decide ?

Your money, your decision. There are plenty of reviews out. You might be able to find issues on google as well.

thx for sharing it. will try research more on it.

If u do unfortunately bought a lousy Zen silicon that Bsod / random reboot at idle , your only best recourse is to RMA the cpu and hopefully got back a better one that doesn't.
It's nothing new.
